Becoming - The Journey of God's Princess

This blog was created for women on the journey of becoming what God created them to be. It is meant to be an encouragement to those who visit. It is filled with the thoughts pondered by a Pastor's wife who is captivated by the love of God and rests daily in His infinate grace. It is filled with devotionals, short stories, poetry and other creative writing and thoughts about my journey to God.

The Valley of the Shattered Souls of Men

I walked through the valley of the shattered souls of men
And then I realized I once was one of them
They cried out for mercy, cried out for healing
Moaned in agony and screamed about their feelings
They sat in groups of blame to pass along the pain
And clothed themselves in garments heavy with shame
The entertained depression had lunch with self-hate
Shared secrets with Sir Criticism and all of his mates
They wallowed in self-pity and vowed off victory
Claimed they sought deliverance yet refused to be set free
The irony of the valley lies in it’s midst
A river flowing freely right down the center of it
And all these desperate souls camped along the shore
Never understanding what it was even for
Like the Pool of Siloam, healing ran within the stream
The blood of Christ flows freely seeking to redeem
I walked through the Valley of the Shattered Souls of Men
And realized the message I had to get to them
Healing comes in ways most would never see
Gentle, peaceful streams that pass by quietly.
